I need to improve my business writing & professional emails?

How can I write more professional emails?

Ad

Business writing is an acquired skill that requires dedication, practice, and perseverance to master. It is also specific to the cultures you will be dealing with. For example, business writing and professional emails are very different in Japan than they are in America.

The most basic thing you can do is to write your letter as if you were approaching a financial investor, who did not care about you, or your company, and was only concerned with the bottom line. In this case, you would not waste time with pleasantries, such as wishing them a good day, or hoping for their health. Instead, you would focus on the facts, and present them in a logical structure, making sure they were easy to read and understand.

Some other steps you can follow to improve your business writing are to observe formal letter writing, from a personal perspective, and then replace the personal elements of a letter with more professional elements. Greetings such as 'Dear' typically have no place in a truly professional and conservative business letter. Likewise, closing the letter should be professional, most often using a closing such as 'Thank you', or 'Very Respectfully'. Closing a professional letter with common Colonial English expressions such a 'Kind Regards', or 'Best Regards' is considered unprofessional in countries like America.

I want to write a letter to a United States company with a request for their invitation?

I am a director of an agency which sends students every year to the United States. I have a sponsor in United States, it is a big organization called "Intrax". I need an invitation from them inviting me to the United States. How can I get this?

There are a number of factors that will determine how you should approach them for a letter, and whether or not you are likely to achieve your desired results in obtaining a letter. As an example, if you have previously applied to a US Embassy or Consul for an immigration visa, or otherwise applied for the visa lottery, you will be ineligible to obtain an US visa from a corporate invitation letter. This is because the United States will view you as having previously demonstrated a desire to immigrate to America. In this case, a tourist visa will not be possible without substantial assets and proof that you will remain home. If you ask a Consular Officer at any US Embassy, they will confirm this information.

Following that, if you still desire a letter from Intrax, you will need to consider the reasons behind such an invitation, and whether the company believes it to be in their interests to extend an invitation to you. The fact that you need to ask for this letter is of concern, as it indicates no need on their part to invite you - meaning you will need to demonstrate a benefit to the organization.

In this case, let them know that your interest is in viewing a particular campus, or visiting their organization at the request of concerned parents in your country who want to make sure they are sending their children to a safe area. If you can provide enough financial motivation to Intrax, then they will likely look favorably on granting you an invitation.

With that in mind, if you are relatively certain that your visa application will be denied, we advise you to consider the potential impact to your current work with Intrax if they are made aware of the fact that the government of the United States has denied you entry. This may concern them enough to sever ties with you, and potentially negatively impact your work relationship.
